We relied too much on Austin which shows when you look at our scorers this season.
The midfield needs to start scoring goals more goals now.
Remember who was top scorer in our last promotion season

He's in Milan.

We need the personnel to score goals, I can play for Qpr and u could say I would score 20 goals but the truth is I wouldn't.

We needed a proven goalscorer to replace Chas. we havent got one (yet)

[stainrodisalegend]

Always have an open mind with all new players.....you cannot judge a player, even as you say with Doyles recent stats, until he plays for qpr..new environment, players around him, new challenge etc etc.
This ponder quietly bit you mentioned mate......its hardly quietly when people regurgitate the same negative lines post after post....we heard it the first time, no need to keep repeating it ad nausem! Think Doyle is an astute signing, but with my open mind, the proof will be after he has played a few games. Might be good for us, might be rubbish......only time will tell.

But mate don't you see that you are just the opposite side of exactly the same coin. You just spout the empty, positive platitude ad nauseum! The management admitted we needed major strengthening in attack BEFORE we lost for the season the player who has scored well over half our goals. And objectively speaking so far we haven't brought in anyone who is remotely likely to make up for Austin, let alone go on to improve us further as it was agreed we needed. Yes it might all work out wonderfully, Clint Hill might score a hat-trick tomorrow, Doyle could turn out to be more prolific than Jordan Rhodes. Anything is indeed possible. I just wouldn't bet much money on it. Put it this way: if I was Burnley's manager, I would be scenting blood tonight.

It took Charlie 5 games till he scored his 1st goal!
I agree that we don't know until we see them play, let's just wait and see.

Some were already getting on his back and calling him the new Mike Sheron!

Quantity not quality unfortunately

Fair point but what happens when the midfield carry on playin they way they have done? No getting into the box (they aint gonna change overnight). Austin has done so well for us coz he is one of the few who works his balls off chacing every loose ball and making things happen.. Doyle is not that type of player...if Charlie were fit i would like the signing of Doyle coz they could get a good partnership going, but he`s not an out and out goalscorer

You must read my post back again Stains.......I never said I was positive and spout positive platitude....I state I have an open mind, neither positive nor negative. Re read it my friend!

[stainrodisalegend]

Doyle is indeed very like Helguson but as others have pointed out that season we had the little matter of Adel Tarrabt. Niko is good, but he is no Adel...

Hate to say it but I agree

[maccatwo]

SSN just tweeted news coming from QPR

[Essexsteve]

I really dont want to be to despondent as Doyle aint a bad loan signing to bolster our squad BUT the fact still remains our goal machine is probably sidelined now for the best part of the season and he needs replacing Now if were to keep this momentum going,Doyle was/is a good addition to the squad but I cant see him getting 15+ I know we gotta give the bloke a chance but I cant help thinking he aint enough. Surely there must be more irons in the fire...

[Essexsteve]

Ross Maccormack?!!

[Midgeyboy]

1 Hour to go and i`m gutted.. anyone would think we were struggling down the bottom (where we would be without Charlies goals).
Come on TF get your hand in your pocket.... Also why have we not offloaded the sh1te???????

[HoopDoggyDogg]

I don't think we could have done any better today than what we have.
Rhodes, Ings and McCormack won't go anywhere so who could we have got?
We still have the Loan Window once Prem Teams have named there squads again.

He is the one who should step forward now. In patches, he seems to be a superb player.
